First Unofficial Picture of Benedict Cumberbatch in Star Trek Sequel

Trek Movie today posted two unofficial location shots from the Los Angeles set of JJ Abrams’ Star Trek sequel. The pictures feature what has been described as a a fight scene on a space barge. The images feature Zachary Quinto as Spock, Zoe Saldana as Uhura and Benedict Cumberbatch in the role that has caused so much speculation ever since his involvement with the project was first announced.

Although Abrams and Cumberbatch were both coy on the potentially villainous nature of the role, the pictures below indicate that Spock is clearly not happy, with Cumberbatch’s character appearing to be on the receiving end of a Vulcan neck pinch.
